If there was any better proof of the pot luck attitude of the SFA when it comes to disciplinary measures, look no further than the latest incredible decision by the SFA decision-makers.

At the weekend Ismaila Soro was kicked in a violent and reactive manner by Motherwell’s Devante Cole, at the time it looked a straight red but referee Nick Walks inexplicably only brandished a yellow card, even though his linesman was yards from the incident.

We expected the SFA disciplinary panel to hold Devante to account this week for his kick out, but Sunsport report the player will escape any further punishment.

The SFA can still take action even if a referee has already dealt with the incident on the pitch if footage shows the referee’s decision did not keep in line with the severity of the flashpoint.

Whataboutery is not something we want to indulge in but on this occasion, we’ll make an exception, if a Celtic player had swung their foot out and landed a kick to an opposition player, do we think the SFA would have sat back?

There seems to be a need to for high profile punishments but let other clubs fly under the radar. It’s why the system is not fit for purpose.

We’re still waiting on the outcome of Albian Ajeti’s hearing.
